Scholarships

About

Scholarships are vital to ensuring the success of our students on their journey as aspiring filmmakers and scholars. Each year as a result of our generous College of the Arts and Film & Electronic Arts donors, we award film students scholarships for the upcoming fall and spring semester. Donor support allows film students to focus on their academic excellence while pursuing practical and invaluable skills through participation in extra-curricular activities, internships, clubs and organizations, and more. We are so fortunate to have the support of individuals and organizations such as The Hollywood Foreign Press AssociationEntertainment Partners, Fine Arts Affiliates, Dramatic Allied Arts Guild, and more. 

Join us in celebrating our 2021-2022 scholarship recipients!

“Education has always been extremely important to me, which is why I’ve dreamed of going to a university to further my academics, while at the same time, finetune my filmmaking skills. This award will significantly help me financially achieve my educational and creative goals, especially as a student paying out-of-state tuition. My goal as a filmmaker is to continue what I’ve started on YouTube and use comedy as a tool to spread happiness and inspire people all around the world to view life in a lighter way. Thank you for helping artists like myself take one step closer to our dreams.”
-- Leia Everett, Fine Arts Affiliates Scholarship

Scholarships and Donors

Many of our students work long hours to afford the cost of their education and the added expenses of pursuing a film degree. Scholarships are crucial as they assist students with educational costs and graduating without the crushing burden of student loan debt. Donor support continues to enhance the quality of education and opportunities our Film & Electronic Arts students receive at CSULB.

Support film students by donating to our FEA Production Scholarship Fund
